Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Date Issue
You said:DATE1 = Source. It always gets imported in as 2 different date formats. I SUSPECT that your source data has a date in a specific format like: mm/dd/yy but your Windows Regional settings are set to a date format that is something else.Like:dd/mm/yy So, when you read in values, if the value matches what Excel/Windows thinks is a date, Excel converts the text string to a proper Excel "date". The problem is, MY windows setting is mm/dd/When I opened your file, Excel converts the data to MY preferred format.So, the first few records looks to ME like: DATE1 DATE2 10/15/2010 20151010 12/15/2010 20151012 10/14/15 20151014 10/16/15 20151016 10/18/15 20151018 See? the first two dates are converted to mm/dd/ Basically, I think your source data isn't in the same format as your Windows default date format. If the MONTH value is less than 12, then Excel thinks it's a valid date.If the month is MORE than 12, then it's not a valid date and is stored as text. So, I think we need to go back to your data source. What does this file look like?is it a text file?Can you open it as text, then use a formula or macro to convert it to a date in the proper format? BTW: If excel recognizes a value as a date, it converts it to a number.(the number of days since 1/1/1900)Once converted, you can DISPLAY this number in any way you'd like. November 23, 2015 is42331 11/23/2015 Monday, November 23, 2015 23-Nov 20151123 These are all the same date, simply changed the cell formatting.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Date Issue
Mandeep: I think the problem is that his default date format is different from our own.(and HIS default date format is different than the source date format) I suspect his original date records are sequential:10-Oct-2015 12-Oct-2015 14-Oct-2015 16-Oct-2015 18-Oct-2015 22-Oct-2015 24-Oct-2015 26-Oct-2015 27-Oct-2015 29-Oct-2015 01-Nov-2015 04-Nov-2015 06-Nov-2015 07-Nov-2015 But since his source data format does not match his system date format,October is being interpreted as 2010and the DAY is being interpreted as the month.That converts to a legitimate date when the day is less than 12,but for day #14, the source data doesn't a possible date format, so Excel doesn't convert it to a date. For example:For the second row, what you and I see as 15-12-2010 (or 12/15/2010 in my case) is really October 12, 2015 from what I can tell (from the text strings in row 4-11)the source data is in mm/dd/yy format,but his system date is set to yy/mm/dd format Paul- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley - From: Mandeep Baluja <rockerna...@gmail.com> To: MS EXCEL AND VBA MACROS <excel-macros@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 8:11 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Date Issue What please see your dates which i copied from your sheet how 2010 year will be 2015 ? ? | DATE1 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-12-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/26/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-04-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-09-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/26/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-12-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-12-2010 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-07-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/25/15 | | 10/26/15 | | 10/28/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-07-2010 | | 15-09-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/26/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-02-2011 | | 15-04-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-09-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-12-2010 | | 10/14/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-02-2011 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-09-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/21/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/25/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-06-2011 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-12-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-04-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-07-2010 | | 15-09-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/25/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-02-2011 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/25/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-07-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 15-11-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/23/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/30/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-08-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/15/15 | | 10/17/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/28/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-01-2011 | | 15-05-2011 | | 15-07-2011 | | 15-09-2010 | | 15-10-2010 | | 10/13/15 | | 10/16/15 | | 10/18/15 | | 10/20/15 | | 10/22/15 | | 10/24/15 | | 10/27/15 | | 10/29/15 | | 10/31/15 | | 15-03-2011 | | 15-06
Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Date Issue
OK, here's a POSSIBLE solution:
Since the format of the source data does not match the current system date
format,Excel converts any source value that COULD be a date to an Excel date,
which is a number.
Any non-valid date is loaded as text.
So, we can either import the data as text and convert,or using what we have,
check to see if it is a number, and change the values accordingly.
If it is NOT a number, convert the text values to a date, like:
=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),
DATE("20"(A2),TEXT(YEAR(A2),"yy"),MONTH(A2)),
DATE("20"(A2,2),LEFT(A2,2),MID(A2,4,2)))
changing the cell format to mmddwill result in values like:

Can someone please create a macro for me that would eliminate this frustrating
problem that I have with date converstion.
DATE1 = Source. It always gets imported in as 2 different date formats.
DATE2 is what I want returned in a MMDD format. I have manually change it
in this example.
Thanks.
